Create browser bookmarks for Windows shares Network
Use something like MisFox to add a new protocol helper for web browsers and bookmark your favorite Windows Server Directories. Handy for those of you who use Macs in a Windows environment. The added bonus of making these Safari bookmarks is that they will sync with .Mac. This is handy if you have a VPN into work.

Using MisFox, select the "Protocol Helpers" tab, then select the New button and add the Protocol: smb> with the Helper Finder (you will have to browse to /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder). Repeat for the protocol cifs. Create bookmarks in Safari of your favorite server/directories; for example:
smb://servername/directory/sub-directory
This hint can also extend to saving local directories and files in bookmarks:
file:///Users/aj/Documents
is the address for my documents directory. Hope folks find this useful.
